Commercial  Fertilizers,  1925

THE  FERTILIZER  LAW. 

The  provisions  of  the  fertilizer  law  have  been  discussed  in 
previous  reports  but  for  more  ready  reference  the  essential  features 
may  be  repeated. 

Significance  of  the  Term    "Commercial  Fertilizers" 

Explaining  what  is  meant  by  the  term  "commercial  fertilizers" 
the  law  says : 

"The  term  'commercial  fertilizers'  shall  be  construed  to  mean  any  and 
every  substance  imported,  manufactured,  prepared  or  sold  for  fertilizing  or 
manuring  or  soil  amendment  purposes,  except  barnyard  manure  and  stable 
manure  which  have  not  been  artificially  treated  or  manipulated,  marl  and 
lime.  Cottonseed  meal,  rapeseed  meal,  castor  pomace  and  all  other  vege- 
table products  used  as  fertilizers,  including  the  ashes  of  cotton  hulls  and 
wood  ashes,  shall  be  included  as  fertilizers  within  the  meaning  of  this  act 
and  separate  analysis  fees  shall  be  paid  on  each  different  grade  which  is 
sold  or  offered  for  sale  in  the  state.  The  person  responsible  for  paying  the 
fees  above  prescribed  may  deduct  from  the  total  tonnage  sold  such  sales  of 
cottonseed  meal  or  other  vegetable  products  as  are  made  to  anyone  who 
gives  a  written  certificate  on  a  form  supplied  by  the  Connecticut  Agricul- 
tural Experiment  Station  stating  that  the  material  bought  by  him  was  to 
be  used  exclusively  for  feed  and  not  for  fertilizer." 

Concerning  Cottonseed  Meal. 

Cottonseed  meal  is  a  fertilizer  within  the  meaning  of  the  Statute 
but  it  is  provided  that  when  this  product  is  sold  for  feeding 
purposes  only,  it  shall  be  exempt  from  the  tonnage  tax. 

The  status  of  cottonseed  meal  under  the  fertilizer  law  has  been 
clearly  stated  in  a  bulletin1  from  this  Station  from  which  the 
following  may  be  quoted: 

Registration  and  analysis  fees.  "Each  brand  of  cottonseed  meal  must  be 
registered  on  forms  provided  by  this  Station  and  an  analysis  fee  of  ten 
dollars  paid  on  it  before  it  is  sold,  offered  or  exposed  for  sale,  and  on  the 
first  day  of  January  annually  thereafter." 

1  Bull,  of  Information  No.  9,  1919. 


4  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION  BULLETIN    2J0 

"A  distinctive  name  constitutes  a  distinct  brand.  If  shipments  have 
different  guaranties  of  composition  they  are  held  to  be  different  brands." 

Branding  or  tagging.  "Since  nitrogen  is  the  only  fertilizer  ingredient  con- 
sidered in  the  trade  in  cottonseed  meal  no  guaranty  of  phosphoric  acid  or 
potash  is  required.  If  either  is  guaranteed  by  the  manufacturer,  however, 
an  additional  fee  of  ten  dollars  must  be  paid  on  each  element.  The  state- 
ment of  composition  now  legal  for  feeds  may  be  used  hereafter  if  the  per- 
centage of  nitrogen  is  stated. 

"Note  that  the  law  regarding  feeding  stuffs  forbids  the  use  of  metal  in 
attaching  tags  and  requires  that  each  package  shall  be  branded  or  tagged 
with  the  statement  required  by  law." 

Duties  of  shippers.  "It  is  assumed  from  correspondence  with  shippers 
outside  the  state  that  they  will  register  the  brands  which  they  sell  in 
Connecticut,  will  pay  analysis  fees  as  has  been  done  in  the  past  by  manu- 
facturers of  commercial  fertilizers,  and  will  semi-annually  thereafter  pay 
the  tonnage  fees. 

"They  will  report  to  this  Station  their  total  sales  and  if  they  wish,  may 
report  what  part  has  been  sold  for  feed  exclusively.  From  the  reports  of 
dealers  within  the  state  it  will  be  possible  to  determine  quite  closely  the 
amounts  of  each  brand  actually  used  as  feed. 

"In  the  case  the  jobber  outside  the  state  neglects  or  refuses  to  register  a 
brand,  the  dealer  who  sells  it  within  the  state  is  responsible  under  the  law." 

Duties  of  dealers.  "Dealers  are  required  to  file  with  the  director  of  the 
Station  on  July  first  of  each  year  and  semi-annually  thereafter  a  sworn 
statement  of  their  total  sales  of  each  brand  of  cottonseed  meal  and  the 
amount  of  each  sold  exclusively  for  feed,  during  the  preceding  six  months." 


Requirements  to  be  Complied  with  by  Sellers  of  Commer- 
cial Fertilizers. 

The  seller  is  responsible  for  the  proper  labeling  of  each  pack- 
age, for  the  registration  at  the  Station  of  every  brand  sold  by  him 
and  for  the  payment  of  the  analysis  fee,  before  offering  for  sale, 
and  annually  thereafter  on  January  ist. 

The  law  specifies  the  information  which  shall  be  given  on  the 
label  as  follows : 

i.     Weight  of  each  package  in  pounds. 

2.  Brand  name  or  trade  mark. 

3.  Analysis: 

(a)  Available  phosphoric  acid,  per  cent. 

(b)  Total  phosphoric  acid,  per  cent. 

(c)  Nitrogen,  per  cent. 

(d)  Equivalent  ammonia,  per  cent. 

(e)  Potash  soluble  in  water,  per  cent. 

4.  Name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer  or  of  the  person 
who  is  responsible  for  the  statement  of  the  guaranty. 

In  the  case  of  bone  meal,  tankage  or  other  organic  products,  '<. 
in  basic  slag  and  mineral  phosphates  in  which  a  large  percent;, 
of  the  phosphoric  acid  is  not  available  by  laboratory  methods,  t 


THE    FERTILIZER    LAW  5 

phosphoric  acid  shall  be  claimed  as  total  phosphoric  acid  unless 
it  is  desired  to  claim  available  phosphoric  acid  instead,  in  which 
case  the  guaranty  shall  take  the  form  set  forth  above. 

The  label  may  be  a  tag  attached  to  the  package  or  a  statement 
printed  thereon.     Percentages  shall  be  minimum  percentages  only. 

The  presence  of  leather  in  its  various  forms,  wool  waste,  hair, 
or  any  inert  nitrogenous  material  shall  be  declared  on  the  label 
unless,  by  processing,  the  activity  of  these  materials  has  been 
rendered  satisfactory  as  determined  by  official  methods. 

When  potash  is  derived  from  sulphate  or  carbonate  of  potash 
it  may  be  so  claimed. 

No  claim  or  guaranty  for  less  than  0.82  per  cent  of  nitrogen  or 
for  less  than  1  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid,  or  for  less  than  1  per 
cent  of  potash  shall  be  regarded  in  the  registration  or  analysis  of 
any  commercial  fertilizer. 

The  seller  must  also,  on  the  1st  of  January  and  July,  report 
the  tonnage  of  fertilizer  sold  within  the  preceding  six  months  and 
pay  to  the  director  of  the  Station  a  tonnage  fee  of  6  cents  per  ton. 

On  request,  copies  of  the  law  and  blanks  for  registration  and 
for  tonnage  reports  will  be  supplied  by  the  Station. 

//,  however,  proper  labeling,  registration  and  payments  have 
been  provided  for  by  the  manufacturer  of  the  brands  or  by  another 
responsible  person  all  sellers  of  such  brands  are  released  from  the 
above  mentioned  requirements.  The  retailer,  therefore,  should 
assure  himself  that  the  requirements  of  the  law  have  been  met  by 
the  manufacturers  of  the  brands  which  he  handles,  or  himself  be 
prepared  to  meet  all  these  requirements. 


Precautions  to  be  Observed  in  Drawing  Samples  for 
Analysis. 

The  analysis  of  a  fertilizer  is  of  no  value  unless  the  sample 
analyzed  represents  as  nearly  as  possible  the  stock  from  which  the 
sample  was  drawn.  The  law  prescribes  the  procedure  to  be 
followed  by  authorized  agents  of  this  Station  when  taking  official 
samples  for  analysis  as  follows : 

"When  samples  are  taken  from  fertilizers  in  bags,  a  tube  shall  be  used, 

and  it  shall  be  inserted  at  one  end  of  the  bag  and  shall  pass  substantially 

the  entire  length  of  the  bag,  so  as  to  take  a  core  of  the  material  being 

sampled  from   substantially  the  entire  length  of  the  bag.     Samples   thus 

taken    from   individual  bags   shall   be  thoroughly  mixed,   and  the  official 

samples  shall  be  taken  from  the  mixture  so  drawn  by  the  method  known 

'quartering.'     Samples  of  fertilizers  taken  as  herein  provided  shall  be 

•'en   from   at  least  five  per   centum   of  the   separate   original  unopened 

kages  in  the  lot,  for  the  mixture  from  which  the  official  samples  shall 

";aken.     If  less  than  one  hundred  bags  are  in  the  lot,  at  least  five  bags 

ll  be  sampled ;    if  less  than  five  bags,  all  shall  be  sampled.    Broken 

:kages  shall  not  be  sampled." 


6  connecticut  experiment  station  bulletin  270 

Gratuitous  Analyses. 

Under  the  fertilizer  law  the  Station  is  charged  only  with  the 
analysis  of  samples  drawn  by  its  own  agents.  It  does,  however, 
each  year  analyze  a  considerable  number  of  samples  drawn  by 
individuals,  representing  stock  purchased  by  them  for  their  own 
use.  The  object  of  the  purchaser  is  to  satisfy  himself  as  to 
whether  he  has  obtained  goods  of  the  grade  represented  and, 
perhaps,  to  obtain  evidence  upon  which  to  base  a  claim  for  short- 
age should  the  materials  not  meet  their  guaranties.  The  Station 
assumes  no  responsibility  for  the  sampling  in  case  of  such  un- 
official samples  and  can  only  vouch  for  the  accuracy  of  the  results 
obtained  on  the  materials  as  submitted.  Since  a  representative 
sample  is  as  essential  as  an  accurate  analysis  in  judging  the  quality 
of  a  shipment  of  fertilizer,  it  is  evident  that  a  satisfactory  adjust- 
ment will  seldom  be  effected  on  the  basis  of  an  unofficial  sample. 
Notwithstanding  certain  objections  which  may  be  raised  to  the 
practice  of  analyzing  samples  submitted  by  individuals,  the  Station 
is  disposed  to  continue  such  work  so  long  as  there  is  evidence  that 
it  constitutes  a  useful  service;  it  cannot,  however,  undertake  for 
any  one  individual  or  group,  work  in  such  volume  or  with  such 
frequency  that  it  becomes  a  systematic  control  over  current 
purchases.  This  clearly  invades  the  field  of  the  commercial 
laboratory.

I.     RAW  MATERIALS  CHIEFLY  VALUABLE  FOR 
NITROGEN. 

NITRATE  OF  SODA 

This  salt  in  a  pure  state  contains  16.47  Per  cent -of  nitrogen. 
Commercial  grades  usually  contain  from  15  to  16  per  cent  of 
nitrogen  which  is  equivalent  to  18.2  to  19.5  per  cent  of  ammonia 
or  91  to  97  per  cent  of  nitrate  of  soda. 

Twenty-three  samples  have  been  analyzed  and  the  results  are 
given  in  Table  I.  So  far  as  nitrogen  guaranties  were  given  no 
deficiencies  were  found.  The  average  nitrogen  content  was  15.43 
per  cent  which  is  equivalent  to  18.76  per  cent  of  ammonia. 

At  prices  quoted,  $60.00  to  $85.00,  nitrogen  has  cost  from  19.2 
to  27.2  cents  per  pound.  Excluding  the  single  high  quotation, 
the  range  is  19.2  to  about  25  cents.  The  average  last  year  was 
found  to  be  23.3  cents.

SULPHATE  OF  AMMONIA. 

Pure  sulphate  of  ammonia  contains  21.2  per  cent  of  nitrogen 
but  the  commercial  grades  contain  about  20.5  per  cent  which  is 
equivalent  to  about  25  per  cent  of  ammonia  or  about  97  per  cent 
of  ammonium  sulphate. 

Five  samples  were  examined  and  results  are  given  in  Table  II. 
All  substantially  met  or  exceeded  the  guaranties  for  nitrogen. 
Prices  were  not  quoted  but  77.5  cents  per  pound  may  be  taken  as 
a  fair  valuation  for  nitrogen  from  this  source  this  year.

CASTOR  POMACE. 

Castor  pomace  is  the  residue  left  after  removing  the  oil  from 
the  castor  bean.  Because  of  its  poisonous  constituents  it  should 
be  stored  where  farm  animals  cannot  have  access  to  it.  While 
chiefly  valuable  for  its  nitrogen,  it  contains  also  about  one  per 
cent  of  potash  and  two  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid.  It  is  used 
chiefly  with  cottonseed  meal  in  tobacco  mixtures. 

Thirty  samples  were  examined  and  are  summarized  in  Table 
III.  Thirteen  were  sampled  by  the  station  ag'ent  and  the 
remainder  were  submitted  by  purchasers.  Sample  1680  fell 
somewhat  below  its  guaranty  as  did  1797.  In  the  latter  case, 
however,  while  the  purchaser  stated  5.50  per  cent  of  nitrogen  as 


CASTOR   POMACE  2  1 

the  guaranty,  the  registration  made  by  the  dealer  claimed  only  5 
per  cent,  according  to  which  there  was  no  deficiency. 

The  average  guaranty  was  4.61  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  the 
average  found  was  5.02  per  cent.  Ton  prices,  where  quoted, 
ranged  from  $23.00  to  $36.00  and  nitrogen  therefore  cost  from 
23-3  t°  39-7  cents  per  pound.  If  allowance  is  made  for  potash 
and  phosphoric  acid  at  4  cents  per  pound  each  the  cost  of  nitrogen 
is  2  to  3  cents  less.

COTTONSEED  MEAL. 

Fifty-three  samples  of  cottonseed  meal  have  been  analyzed  and 
are  summarized  in  Table  V.  The  grades  represented  are  the  36, 
41  and  43  per  cent  protein  meals.  Eleven  samples  were  sub- 
mitted with  no  statement  of  guaranty  but  analyses  show  them  to 
be  of  the  41  or  43  per  cent  grade. 

Of  the  fifty-three  samples  only  three  were  deficient  by  more 
than  0.1  per  cent  of  nitrogen;  and  in  only  two,  1109  Dixie,  and 
1831  Bull,  would  the  deficiencies  exceed  $1.00  per  ton  reckoning 
nitrogen  at  35  cents  per  pound.  The  average  nitrogen  found  was 
6.63  per  cent  and  the  average  guaranty  was  6.53  per  cent.  A 
similar  computation  last  year  showed  an  average  of  0.15  per  cent 
,of  nitrogen  found  over  the  average  guaranteeed.  Ninety-six  per 
cent  of  samples  substantially  met  or  exceeded  their  guaranties. 

The  cost  per  pound  of  nitrogen  in  cottonseed  meal  has  ranged 
from  38.1  cents  in  the  36  per  cent  protein  grade  to  about  S5-5 
cents  in  the  higher  grades.  The  average  for  all  samples  is  35.9 
cents  as  compared  with  39.1  cents  last  year.

PRECIPITATED  BONE  PHOSPHATE. 

Commercial  bone  phosphate,  obtained  as  a  by-product  in  the 
manufacture  of  gelatin,  consists  largely  of  dicalcium  phosphate, 
and  the  phosphorus  is  practically  all  in  so-called  "available"  form. 

Ten  samples  were  analyzed,  five  of  which  were  sampled  by  the 
station  agent.  Samples  2128  and  2521  did  not  meet  the  guaranty 
of  38  per  cent  total  phosphoric  acid  although  they  averaged  36 
per  cent  of  available  phosphoric  acid.  So  far  as  prices  were 
quoted  available  phosphoric  acid  cost  about  7  cents  per  pound.

DISSOLVED  ROCK  PHOSPHATE  OR  ACID  PHOSPHATE. 

Acid  phosphate  is  made  by  treating  raw  rock  phosphate  with 
sulphuric  acid  which  converts  the  phosphorus  into  available  forms, 
chiefly,  of  the  type  which  is  soluble  in  water. 

Twenty-four  samples  were  analyzed  all  but  three  of  which  sub- 
stantially equalled  or  exceeded  their  guaranties.  Sample  1588 
was  about  0.5  per  cent  low;  but  two  other  samples  of  the  same 
brand  were  well  over  the  guaranty  of  16  per  cent.  Sample  1453 
was  considerably  under  16  per  cent  and  no  other  sample  of  the 
same  brand  could  be  found.  Sample  2736  was  low  but  1813,  of 
the  same  manufacture,  substantially  met  the  guaranty. 

On  the  basis  of  eleven  price  quotations,  available  phosphoric 
acid  in  this  raw  material  has  cost  about  7  cents  per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII.

POTASH    SALTS  3 1 

III.  RAW  MATERIALS  CONTAINING  POTASH. 
CARBONATE  OF  POTASH. 

Pure  carbonate  of  potash  contains  68.2  per  cent  of  actual  potash 
(K20),  but  commercial  grades  will  usually  contain  from  60  to  65 
per  cent. 

All  of  the  samples  examined,  six  in  number,  were  submitted 
by  the  purchaser  and  the  only  guaranty  given  was  96  per  cent 
mrbonate  of  potash  which  is  equivalent  to  about  65.5  per  cent  of 
ICO.  The  samples  examined  ranged  from  58.5  to  67.6  per  cent. 
Another  sample,  1569,  was  submitted  by  the  American  Sumatra 
Tobacco  Co.  as  carbonate  of  potash,  but  there  was  apparently  an 
error  in  sampling.  The  material  contained  only  24  per  cent  of 
potash  with  much  phosphoric  acid  and  was  evidently  a  mixture  of 
carbonate  of  potash  and  precipitated  bone. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VIII. 

MURIATE  OF  POTASH. 

The  grade  of  this  salt  chiefly  used  for  fertilizer  is  about  80  per 
cent  pure  and  is  generally  guaranteed  to  contain  from  48  to  50 
per  cent  of  actual  potash  (K20). 

Fourteen  samples  were  drawn  by  the  station  agent  and  one  was 
submitted  by  a  purchaser.  Three  samples,  1584,  1687  and  1809 
failed  to  equal  their  guaranties  but  second  samples  of  two  of  these, 
1846  and  2122,  were  not  found  deficient.  No  second  sample  of 
1687  was  found. 

On  the  basis  of  prices  quoted  potash  from  this  source  cost  5 
cents  per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VIII. 

HIGH  GRADE  SULPHATE  OF  POTASH. 

This  material  is  about  90  per  cent  pure  sulphate  of  potash  which 
is  equivalent  to  about  48  per  cent  of  actual  potash  (K20). 

Eight  samples  were  drawn  by  the  station  agent  and  six  were 
examined  for  purchasers.  All  substantially  equalled  or  exceeded 
their  guaranties. 

Potash  from  this  source  cost,  at  the  prices  quoted,  about  6  cents 
per  pound. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VIII. 

DOUBLE  SULPHATE  OF  POTASH  AND  MAGNESIA. 
(Double  Manure  Salts.) 

Only  three  samples  were  analyzed  this  season.  All  satisfied 
the  requirement  of  26  per  cent  of  potash  and  contained  from  10  to 
14.5  per  cent  of  magnesia. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  VIII. 

KAINIT. 

The  one  sample  of  kainit  examined  fully  satisfied  the  guaranty. 
The  analysis  is  given  in  Table  VIII.

DRY    GROUND    FISH  35 

IV.  RAW  MATERIALS  CONTAINING  NITROGEN 
AND  POTASH. 

Only  two  samples  of  this  group  of  materials  have  been 
examined,  both  taken  by  the  station  agent. 

1592.  Nitrate  of  Soda  and  Potash.  Apothecaries  Hall  Co., 
Waterbury.     Sampled  at  the  factory. ' 

2088.  Naco  Brand,  Nitrapo.  Nitrate  Agencies  Co.,  New 
York.     Sampled  from  stock  of  E.  N.  Austin,  Suffield. 

Sample  2088  was  deficient  in  both  essential  ingredients. 

Table  IX.    Analyses  of  Nitrate  of  Soda  and  Potash. 

Station  No.  1592  2088 

Nitrogen : 

found   14.84  14.12 

guaranteed    14.80  15.00 

Equivalent  to  ammonia : 

found   18.04  17-17 

guaranteed    18.00  18.25 

Potash : 

found    1348  14.77 

guaranteed    12.00  i5-°o 


V.  RAW  MATERIALS   CONTAINING  NITROGEN 
AND  PHOSPHORIC  ACID. 

DRY  GROUND  FISH. 

Twenty-six  samples  of  dry  ground  fish  were  analyzed,  ten  of 
which  were  official  samples  drawn  by  the  station  agent.  All  of 
the  official  samples  equalled  or  exceeded  their  guaranties  except 
1554  which  was  0.32  per  cent  low  in  nitrogen  and  2090  which  was 
deficient  in  phosphoric  acid. 

In  the  official  samples  the  average  nitrogen  found  was  8.80 
per  cent  and  the  average  phosphoric  acid  7.59  per  cent.  On  the 
.basis  of  the  prices  quoted  to  our  agent,  allowing  4  cents  per 
pound  for  phosphoric  acid,  nitrogen  in  this  material  cost  about 
37.7  cents  per  pound.  A  similar  calculation  last  year  showed  the 
cost  per  pound  to  be  37.9  cents. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  X.

TANKAGE. 

This  material  varies  considerably  in  composition  depending 
upon  the  relative  amounts  of  bone  and  meat  which  it  contains. 
In  general  products  containing  less  than  5  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and 
over  15  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid  show  a  preponderance  of 
bone,  while  those  showing  over  5  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  less 
than  15  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid  show  substantial  quantities  of 
meat. 

Sixteen  samples  were  analyzed,  thirteen  of  which  were  officially 
drawn.  Of  the  official  samples  four,  1560,  1604,  2522,  and  1860 
averaged  4.09  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  21.85  Per  cent  °f  phos- 
phoric acid  and  are,  therefore,  bone  and  meat  tankages.  The 
remainder  were  meat  tankages  and  averaged  7.55  per  cent  of 
nitrogen  and  9.04  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid. 

Prices  vary  greatly  for  this  raw  material  depending  upon 
whether  it  is  essentially  nitrogenous  or  phosphatic  in  type.  Thus 
the  approximate  valuations  of  the  two  samples  containing  the 
extremes  of  nitrogen,  assuming  values  of  30  cents  per  pound  for 
nitrogen  and  4  cents  for  phosphoric  acid,  range  from  $39.00  to 
$68.00  per  ton. 

Analyses  are  given  in  Table  XI.

GROUND  BONE. 

Twenty-six  samples  have  been  examined,  all  but  two  of  which 
were  official  samples. 

Sample  1593  was  deficient  in  nitrogen  (0.2  per  cent),  and  2496 
was  considerably  below  guaranty  in  phosphoric  acid.  In  the 
other  samples  guaranties  were  substantially  met  and  in  most  cases 
there  were  liberal  overag'es  in  both  of  the  elements  of  plant  food.

MIXED    FERTILIZERS  43 


MIXED  FERTILIZERS. 

MIXTURES  CONTAINING  ONLY  NITROGEN  AND 
PHOSPHORIC  ACID. 

Only  four  samples  of  this  group  of  fertilizers  were  examined. 

1731.  Top  Dressing  for  Grass.  Olds  and  Whipple,  Inc., 
Hartford.  Sampled  by  the  station  agent  from  stock  of  F.  T. 
Blish  Hardware  Co.,  So.  Manchester. 

2439.  High  Grade  Tobacco  Starter.  Olds  and  Whipple, 
Inc.,  Hartford.     Sampled  by  station  agent  at  the  factory. 

26£4.  Ammo-Phos.  American  Cyanamid  Co.,  New  York. 
Sampled  by  station  agent  from  stock  of  Olds  and  Whipple,  Inc., 
Hartford. 

1746.  Swift  Sure  Tobacco  Starter.  M.  L.  Shoemaker  and 
Co.,  Philadelphia.  Sampled  by  station  agent  from  stock  of  F.  S. 
Bidwell  &  Co.,  Windsor  Locks. 

Analyses  are  as  follows : 

Station  No.  1731  2439  2644  1746 

%  %            %             % 

Nitrogen,  found    6.43  8.61  15.80  3.27 

guaranteed    5.75  8.23  16.45  3-25 

Ammonia    equivalent   to    nitrogen  7.82  10.47  19.21  3.98 

Phosphoric  acid,  total    4.95  5.45  21.55  13.70 

available,   found    4.35  4.55  20.82  H-55 

guaranteed    ........  4.00  3.00  20.00  10.00 

In  all  these  samples  the  quality  of  the  insoluble  organic  nitrogen 
was  satisfactory  as  judged  by  the  usual  methods. 


MIXTURES    CONTAINING   AMMONIA,   PHOSPHORIC   ACID 
AND  POTASH. 

In  Table  XIII  are  given  the  analyses  of  two  hundred  and  fifty- 
five  samples  of  complete  fertilizers,  sampled  by  the  station  agent, 
and  of  fourteen  sampled  by  purchasers,  making  two  hundred 
and  sixty-nine  in  all. 

The  figures  in  the  column  headed  "grade"  represent  the 
guaranteed  percentages  of  ammonia,  available  phosphoric  acid  and 
potash  in  the  order  named.  Thus,  for  example,  4-8-4  means  that 
the  brand  is  guaranteed  to  contain  at  least  4  per  cent  of  ammonia, 
8  per  cent  of  available  phosphoric  acid,  and  4  per  cent  of  potash. 
The  figures  in  the  analyses  which  correspond  to  these  values  are 
given  in  bold  face  type  so  that  the  comparison  between  the  plant 
food  guaranteed  and  that  found  on  analysis  can  be  readily  made. 

The  essential  facts  concerning  the  inspection  may  be  summar- 
ized as  follows : 


44  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION  BULLETIN    2.JO 

Total  number  of  official  samples 255 

Samples  considerably  deficient: 

Deficient  in  one  item  74 

in  two   items    10 

in  three  items  0 

Total    84 

Total  deficiencies   94 

Total  guaranties  made,  (total  samples  x  3)    765 

Total  number  of  samples  showing  deficiencies  in  money  value 
of  $1.00  per  ton  or  more 13 

This  summary  shows  that  about  1/3  (32.9  per  cent),  of  the 
total  number  of  samples  examined  have  failed  to  satisfy  their 
guaranties  in  all  items  of  plant  food.  Seventy-four  samples  were 
deficient  in  one  ingredient  only ;  ten  were  deficient  in  two  ingre- 
dients ;  and  none  were  deficient  in  all  ingredients.  Amounts  of 
plant  food  have  substantially  equalled  or  exceeded  guaranties  in 
&7-7  Per  cent  °f  the  total  number  of  guaranties  made ;  and,  when 
overages  are  balanced  against  shortages,  samples  have  shown 
commercial  values1  substantially  conforming  to  those  required  by 
the  guaranties  in  about  95  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  samples 
examined. 

Concerning  Guaranties. 

.  A  study  of  the  distribution  of  deficiencies  in  plant  food  shows 
that  those  in  ammonia,  phosphoric  acid,  and  potash  are  about 
equally  distributed,  there  being  35,  28,  and  31  in  the  order  named. 
While  in  the  majority  of  cases  analyses  show  that  guaranties  are 
insured  by  liberal  overruns,  yet  too  often  there  is  evidence  of  in- 
sufficient allowance  for  reasonable  margins  of  safety. 

Analyses  as  soon  as  made  .are  reported  to  the  manufacturer, 
to  the  dealer  and  to  the  purchaser.  In  case  of  considerable  defi- 
ciencies, second  samples  are  analyzed  if  such  have  been  taken  or 
can  be  obtained.  Thus  questions  arising  concerning  analysis  or 
sampling  may  be  investigated  and  adjusted  if  possible. 

The  following  comments  may  be  offered  with  reference  to  the 
samples  cited. 

2312.  A.  A.  C.  Co's  National  Market  Garden  Fertilizer.  This 
was  guaranteed  4.00  per  cent  potash  and  3.66  per  cent  was  found. 
The  manufacturer  obtained  3.76  per  cent  on  a  duplicate  portion 
of  our  sample. 

2327.  A.  A.  C.  Co's  Quinnipiac  Market  Garden  Manure. 
Guaranteed  7  per  cent  potash.  We  reported  6.65  per  cent  whereas 
the  manufacturer  found  6.79  per  cent  in  a  duplicate  portion  of 
our  sample. 

1773.  Armour's  Big  Crop  Fertilizer  5-8-7.  Our  report 
showed  this  sample  to  be  low  in  ammonia  and  in  available  phos- 

1  Ammonia  has  been  reckoned  at  20.6^  per  pound ;  and  available  phos- 
phoric acid  and  potash  at  afi  per  pound  each. 


MIXED    FERTILIZERS  45 

phoric  acid.  Checks  by  the  manufacturer  substantially  agreed 
with  our  figures. 

2099.  Royster's  Bully  Guano.  Guaranteed  5  per  cent  potash. 
Our  report  showed  4.66  potash  and  the  manufacturer's  check 
showed  4.88  per  cent.  Rechecks  by  us  showed  4.53  and  4.51  per 
cent. 

1857.  Bowker's  Stockbridge  Truck  Manure.  Analysis  showed 
this  to  be  a  4-8-6  instead  of  a  4-8-7  brand  as  tagged.  The  manu- 
facturer questioned  the  sampling  but  no  error  was  found  in  the 
inspection  report.  A  second  sample  of  the  same  brand  substan- 
tially comformed  to  guaranty  in  two  ingredients  but  was  deficient 
in  potash. 

Deficiencies  in  Money  Value. 

Thirteen  samples  show  shortages  in  money  value  in  excess  of 
$1.00  per  ton,  such  shortages  being  duly  balanced  against  any  over- 
runs shown,  and  reckoning  ammonia,  available  phosphoric  acid 
and  potash  at  the  values  previously  cited  (p.  44).  In  all  these 
cases  second  samples  were  secured  if  possible  and  analyzed  if 
obtained.     A  summary  of  deficient  brands  is  given  in  Table  XIV.

Attention  has  already  been  directed  to  the  fact  that  these 
samples  showing  considerable  commercial  deficiencies  constitute 
but  5  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  samples  examined.  If 
these  data  are  incorporated  with  similar  data  for  the  previous  four 
years  we  shall  gain  some  conception  of  what  purchasers  of  mixed 
fertilizers  have  received  for  their  money  during  the  five  year 
period.  It  appears  from  Table  XV  that  in  this  interval  1276 
official  samples  have  been  analyzed,  and  that  1155  (90.5  per 
cent)  samples  have  substantially  met  or  have  exceeded  the  com-

mercial  valuations  represented  by  their  guaranties.  A  few  manu- 
facturers, of  whose  goods  less  than  10  samples  have  been 
examined  in  this  stated  period,  are  not  included  in  the  summary. 
The  products  of  a  given  manufacturer  are  more  adequately  judged 
on  the  basis  of  a  period  of  years;  but  in  order  to  recognize 
improvement,  if  made,  the  comparative  figures  for  the  past  year 
are  given  separately.

The  "New  England  Standard  Nine." 

Of  the  two  hundred  and  fifty-five  official  samples  of  complete 
fertilizers,  less  than  one-half  (113)  have  fallen  in  the  "Standard 
Nine"   group;   but   if   grades   closely   corresponding   thereto   are 


MIXED    FERTILIZERS  47 

included  the  number  is  somewhat  over  one-half  (133).  Last  year 
it  was  found  that  about  .36  per  cent  of  the  samples  examined  fell 
exactly  in  these  nine  grades  whereas  this  year  the  proportion  is 
44  per  cent.  As  was  the  case  last  year,  the  largest  number  of 
samples  have  fallen  in  the  grades  4-8-4,  5-4-5,  and  5-8-7. 

_  In  the  following  summary  the  "Standard  Nine"  grades  are  in- 
dicated in  full  face  type.

Quality  of  the  Insoluble  Organic  Nitrogen. 

The  accepted  methods  of  evaluating  the  insoluble  organic 
nitrogen  in  fertilizers  determines  the  proportion  which  is  "active." 
Thus  activity  values  of  under  50  per  cent  by  the  so-called  alkaline 
method  and  80  per  cent  by  the  so-called  neutral  method  are  taken 
as  indicating  inferior  forms  of  nitrogenous  materials.  In  several 
brands  examined  during  the  past  season  values  somewhat  less 
than  these  just  given  have  been  found;  but  in  all  these  cases  the 
percentages  of  water-soluble  nitrogen  plus  the  active  insoluble 
nitrogen  exceeded  or  closely  approximated  the  nitrogen  guaranties 
and  the  question  of  quality  was  not  raised.

VII.  MISCELLANEOUS  FERTILIZERS,  AMENDMENTS

WOOD  ASHES. 

Twelve  samples  of  wood  ashes,  chiefly  Canadian  products,  have 
been  analyzed.  All  were  of  good  quality.  Nine  contained  over 
6  per  cent  of  potash  and  eleven  contained  over  5  per  cent. 
Besides  potash,  wood  ashes  contain  from  1.5  to  2.5  per  cent  of 
phosphoric  acid  and  probably  30  per  cent  or  more  of  lime  which 
contribute  to  their  value  as  a  fertilizer  and  a  soil  amendment,  but 
as  a  source  of  potash  at  $5.00  per  unit  they  are  expensive. 

Analyses  are  gfiven  in  Table  XVII.

SHEEP  MANURE,  ETC. 

Analyses  of  eleven  samples  of  sheep  and  other  farm  manures, 
all  sampled  by  the  station  agent,  are  given  in  Table  XVIII.  All 
guaranties  for  nitrogen  and  potash  were  substantially  met  or 
exceeded;  and  there  were  no  notable  deficiencies  in  phosphoric 
acid. 

The  character  of  the  nitrogen  in  sheep  manure  is  shown  by 
analyses  of  several  brands  sampled  in  1924.  Nitrogen  distribu- 
tion was  determined  as  shown  in  the  subjoined  summary.

These  figures  show  that  organic  nitrogen  insoluble  in  water 
comprises  the  greater  part  of  the  total  nitrogen ;  and  that  from 
20  to  40  per  cent  of  the  insoluble  nitrogen  is  "active"  by  one  of 
the  conventional  methods  for  determining  its  activity.  This 
parallels  rather  closely  field  experiments  which  have  shown  that 
only  about  one-third  of  the  nitrogen  in  manure  is  recovered  in 
the  first  year's  crop  and  that  its  full  quota  of  plant  food  is  not 
utilized  except  over  a  period  of  years.  It  is  recognized,  however, 
that  the  value  of  farm  manures  is  not  confined  to  the  commercial 
value  of  the  nitrogen,  phosphorus  and  potash  which  they  contain. 
Their  chief  value  perhaps  lies  in  the  fact  that  they  serve  as  con- 
ditioners and  as  culture  media  for  the  growth  of  beneficial  soil 
bacteria.

LIME,  ETC. 

Seventeen  samples  of  liming  materials,  chiefly  limestone,  have 
been  analyzed  and  are  summarized  in  Table  XIX.  A  discussion 
on  the  classification  and  uses  of  lime  was  given  in  our  report 
last  year.1 

Sample  2362  was  carbide  residue  about  which  information  as 
to  its  utilization  was  asked.  This  material  is  the  residue  obtained 
in  the  manufacture  of  acetylene  gas.  It  is  useful  as  a  source  of 
lime  for  agricultural  purposes  if  it  is  dry  and  otherwise  in  good 
mechanical  condition.  It  should  be  exposed  to  the  air  to  dispel 
traces  of  acetylene  gas  which  would  be  injurious  to  seed.  It 
applied  to  the  soil  2  or  3  weeks  before  planting  there  should  be  no 
danger.  The  sample  examined  contained  47.3  per  cent  of  lime 
(CaO),  and  had  apparently  been  well  exposed  as  the  calcium 
was  largely  in  the  air-slaked  condition.

1727.  Potash  Marl.  Potash  Marl,  Inc.,  New  York.  Sampled 
by  station  agent,  stock  of  Lightbourn  and  Pond,     New  Haven. 

Analysis : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  0.45  per  cent;  total  phosphoric  acid 
1.33  per  cent.  The  material  was  guaranteed  0.25  and  1  per  cent 
of  available  and  total  phosphoric  acid  respectively. 

Only  phosphoric  acid  is  guaranteed.  The  material  contains,  or 
(may  contain,  6  per  cent  or  more  of  potash  but  it  is  largely  or 
entirely  insoluble  in  water.  The  product  was  quoted  at  $43.00 
per  ton  but  the  plant  food  in  it  cannot  be  valued  at  over  $5.00. 
We  have  no  information  that  its  worth  as  an  amendment  justifies 
the  extra  cost.
